Audio-to-MIDI conversion

You can drag an audio clip from SONAR’s Browser to a MIDI or Instrument track, and the audio data will automatically be converted to a MIDI clip. SONAR uses the Melodyne engine to analyze and convert the audio data to MIDI data.

You can also drag a Melodyne Region FX clip or any audio clip to a MIDI or Instrument track, and the audio data will be converted to a MIDI clip. For details, see To convert audio to MIDI.

Figure 392. Drag a Melodyne Region FX clip to a MIDI or Instrument track to convert it to a MIDI clip.

 

Note: Melodyne essential and Melodyne assistant only support monophonic audio data. If the audio source contains polyphonic material, the resulting MIDI conversion will be monophonic. Polyphonic audio-to-MIDI conversion is only supported in Melodyne editor.

Tip: For the best results when converting audio to MIDI, first convert the audio to a Melodyne Region FX, then use the Melodyne interface to precisely identify the desired notes/beats. You can then drag the Melodyne Region FX clip to a MIDI or Instrument track and get predictable results.
